Obscure Half-Life Mod Thursday 5/1 *Please let me have my lappy back edition*

[Surf314]

You know the drill, vote your favorite.

So far we got:

Natural Selection (install instructions)
Fist of Frags
Zombies Panic!
Zombie Master
The Waste
Dystopia
PVKII
Source Forts

Make sure you got those of the above installed that you can.  If you are adding mods to the list please link to where you get it.  Last mod gets dropped, but can be re-added if 2 or more people request it.

That sounds awesome, I will add it.  But I think 8 should be the max...so I'm thinking that we will drop anything that gets 0 votes or the bottom one, and switch out any new suggestions with the ones that get dropped next week.

I feel like I can't vote because I don't know if I will be able to play yet  :'(.

I remember the waste looking sweet but Ive never gotten a chance to try it.

I added it based on a recommendation by my friend.  Of all the mods he's played he keeps telling me about that one.

[ToiletDuck]

oh god, i love source forts!!

These are all pretty good (except maybe PVK, haven't tried it yet). I'm not sure if we should necessarily continue booting them unless we explicitly say get rid of it. Otherwise we'll run out of good mods in a few months.

The plan is to constantly cycle new ones in and re-cycle in old ones.  Its not a matter of booting mods permanently, I just think when we get more than 8 it will dilute the voting too much.  I think this way it works well, replace the least voted ones for new ones and then cycle back in old ones as they get requested again.

Hah, I see no one wants to play zombie master.  I had a blast with it but it just seems that the games are either really easy or someone really knows how to be zombie master and you get your ass handed to you. 

But yeah my vote is for zombie panic.  Always a good time.

[Surf314]

I'm bringing over The Ship conversation to this topic since the old one has expired.

I would like to play it, I might have to wait 2 weeks for another paycheck though.  It's currently $15 on steam.  Is there a free version?  I think we're going to have troubles adding it to the community as it is not free.  So I'm thinking that if we can get enough of us together we can sort of schedule some games whenever we can fit them in instead of making it a night.  Either that or we can pray for a ridiculous sale on Steam.  Or we could try and pay valve in cheeseburgers, someone mentioned that that might work.

Yea the ZM makes or breaks that mod, which makes Zombie Panic! better for consistency.  Zombie Master can be an absolute blast at times though.

[Versus]

Dystopia/Sourceforts for the fucking win.

[Black Aspen]

I'd really like to give PVKII a try, but this week wouldn't be good for me anyways.  May 1st is mah BIRFDAY.  What'll I be doing that night instead?  Eating this:




BTW: Sourceforts sounds really awesome.

[Eschatos]

My vote goes to Zombie Master.  I make a pretty good master, but not good enough that humans always lose.

[copulatingduck]

I would definitely recommend installing Dystopia earlier rather than later. It's a big download. After it's installed, run through the buggy tutorial level, and then hop on a few games online (most of the popular games servers are very n00b friendly, just tell them you are). It's a little complicated, but in a very good way.

I'm probably not going to be taking part again. Neglected website, installing so-called "simple" programs on servers, and general "what am I doing with my life" stuff to deal with.

You will be missed.

That's mean, my lappy has officially fallen into some void at apple.  It is perpetually showing pending shipment status.  Le sigh, time to call Apple and bitch some more.
